incorrect backcourt call

[Treeguy]

I had a similar situation Tuesday. No one knew the rule so no one complained. At half time, I told my partner he got it wrong as there was no team control yet. If the offending coach complained, I may have gone up to my partner and tell him what I saw and have him make the decision to change his call.

You provided the crew with the correct rule interpretation. If the "R" allows a crew to kick a rule...the infraction counts aginst the entire crew. Good Job!!!

The problem with this is not even the R can overrule a partner.

"If" i over ruled this i would have added a quick meeting at the scorer's table with both coaches to make sure everyone is on the same page......

I like what you did. Give info. Provide clarity quickly on a rule. Let them stay with or change their call.

For me this question really depends on the level of play.

In summer league or lower level, I will address it at half time. Especially if no one is complaining.

In a higher level game, I will provide the rule to my partner and let him correct himself. I don't care if I'm the only one who knows the rule; frankly, that happens all the time.

And I don't get the sentiment for WHEN you would offer more information. Why would the protests of a coach "force" you into a different course of action.
